Frequently Asked Questions About Travel Scooters
What is the difference between 3-wheel and 4-wheel scooters?
3-wheel scooters have a tighter turning radius, making them better for indoor use and navigating tight spaces. 4-wheel scooters offer more stability and are better suited for outdoor terrain, uneven surfaces, and longer distances.
Does ADP cover mobility scooters?
Yes, mobility scooters are covered under ADP for eligible Ontario residents who cannot use a manual wheelchair due to upper body limitations. Coverage is up to 75% of the approved amount. We handle all ADP paperwork and assessments.
Can I take a mobility scooter on an airplane?
Yes, we sell airline-approved travel scooters that can be disassembled or folded for air travel. Look for portable scooters with lithium-ion batteries under 300Wh that meet airline regulations. Ask us about travel-friendly options.
How fast do mobility scooters go?
Most mobility scooters have a top speed of 6-8 km/h (4-5 mph), which is a comfortable walking pace. Some full-size outdoor scooters can reach 12-15 km/h. Speed can be adjusted with a dial for safety in crowded areas.
How far can a mobility scooter travel on one charge?
Range depends on battery size and terrain. Compact travel scooters typically go 15-20 km per charge. Full-size scooters with larger batteries can travel 30-45 km. Hills, user weight, and temperature affect range.
Can I use a mobility scooter in stores and malls?
Yes, mobility scooters are welcome in most stores, malls, and public places. Compact 3-wheel and 4-wheel scooters are designed for indoor use with tight turning radius. Many users bring their scooter shopping, to appointments, and to events.
Do I need a license to drive a mobility scooter?
No, you do not need a drivers license to operate a mobility scooter in Ontario. Scooters are classified as mobility aids, not vehicles. However, you should follow sidewalk rules and be considerate of pedestrians.
What is a folding or portable mobility scooter?
Folding scooters collapse quickly for transport in a car trunk. They are lightweight (30-60 lbs), airline-approved, and ideal for travel. While they have smaller batteries and less range than full-size scooters, they offer excellent portability.
Is there an income limit for ADP?
No, ADP has no income testing. All Ontario residents with a valid health card and qualifying disability are eligible regardless of income. The program covers 75% of the cost for all qualifying applicants.
How often can I get new equipment through ADP?
ADP has usage periods for each equipment type. For example, wheelchairs have a 5-year usage period, walkers 5 years, and hospital beds vary. After the usage period, you may qualify for replacement if there is continued medical need.
Can I upgrade my ADP equipment?
Yes, you can choose features beyond what ADP covers and pay the difference. For example, ADP may cover a basic power wheelchair, but you can upgrade to a model with more features. You pay 25% of the approved amount plus any upgrade costs.
What documents do I need for ADP application?
You need: 1) Ontario Health Card, 2) Prescription from your physician stating medical need, 3) Assessment from an authorized ADP vendor like Mobility Specialties. We guide you through gathering all required documentation.
